RIT Lines are rapidly becoming
one of the best personal life-safety tools used in firefighting search and rescue
situations. Sterling developed the RIT 900 and RIT 500 to give firefighters the
ability and confidence to be "hands free" in difficult search operations. RIT
Lines are fire-resistant "tag" lines that help firefighters maintain physical
contact in extreme heat and rapidly deteriorating conditions. They significantly
increase a team's speed, efficiency, and safety within a burning building. They
also provide reference points so that additional outside crews are able to folow
in quickly and safely.
The RIT 500 measures 8mm in diameter and has an aramid kernmantle construction
with a nylon core. Its heat resistance is 500° Fahrenheit- lower than the RIT
900 due to its nylon core. This 8mm is a super strong, very durable, heat and
cut-resistant "tag" line and also qualifies as a Personal Escape Rope. Certified
to NFPA 1983, 2001 edition for Personal Escape Rope.
